Mr.. james Spencer, says the Chatta-
nooga Times, hit on Q novel way to get at
the approximate weight Of q fly. His
store 10 greatly pestered with flies. and he
recently brought into use the patent fly
paper. He put out twenty-one Of these
sheets. being 12x2S inches each. covering
a surface Of 336 square inches. In the
evening, when they were filled, he took
them mp TO destroy them, and noticed the
increased weight, and struck with curios-
ity, he put the paper with their load OF
dead flies in o pair Of scales, and found
that the twenty-one weighed exactly seven
pounds.
He then weighed twenty.one sheets with
out the flies and found they weighed four
pounds aud four ounces. Thus on the
t~wenty-one papers there were forty-four
ounces or two pounds and twelve ounces
of flies. This number OF flies are taken
probably two or three times aday.
"Now il you want to know how much
q fly weighs" said Mr.. Spencer, "you
will find that there ia an average of
twenty-five flies to the square inch on the
paper. On one paper therefore which Is
1856 square inches you have 6,720 flies. and
on the whole twenty-one sheets there are
l41. 120 flies; therefore II 141 ,120 flies
| weigh forty-four ounces how much does
| one fly weigh? 1t is a simple calculation,
and those who have o curiosity to know
can quickly find it out"

Up at Butte, Montana, q great deal o.
rivalry exists between the different shift
at the Anaconda and st. Lawrence as te
which can make the highest run. The
competition is sharp and amounts nearly
to a craze among the miners. with hardly
an exception. The fight is between the
day and night shifts. On the night OF
July 81 the st. Lawrence hoisted $50 cars.
Until then COB care had been the highest
figure reached. The boys Of the day
shift were somewhat taken back at this
news, but determined to beat the record
that had been made. The Butte Miner
says: "In the first two hours they had
hoisted at the rate OF IA cars per hour,
which was unexampled in this or any
other camp, and at the close In the even
ing 7l2 cars had been hoisted to he sur
face during the shift. Part Of the time
during the day the cage was used taking
